September 27, 2000
Location: First Union Arena, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
Commentators: Stevie Ray, Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay
Disqo vs. Konnan
Rey and Juvy run in for the save.
Scott Steiner beats up security and the Disqo Duck. Of course you know this means war.
The announcers talk for a bit.
The Thrillers are celebrating winning the Tag Team Titles. Leia Meow comes in and is basically ignored.
Hardcore Title Tournament Semi-Finals: Sgt. AWOL vs. Johnny the Bull
Stevie is being checked on by a trainer but wants Steiner tonight.
Crowbar asks Jimmy Hart where Daffney is (when you need information, you go to Jimmy Hart). Apparently she and Ozzie are going to Australia before the rest of the company shows up there in a few weeks.
Steiner will fight Stevie later.
If you go to WCW.com, you can get an exclusive interview with Jim Duggan. It sounds better than This Week in WCW Motorsports.
Konnan has taken over for Stevie on commentary.
Rating: D. Those chinlocks in the middle took everything out of this match and made it dull stuff for the most part. Team Canada vs. the Thrillers gets to keep going as Russo continues his love of stable wars and likely tries to keep recreating DX vs. the Nation. I mean, the Canadians vs. the military guys is exactly the same as Rock vs. HHH right?
Kronik vs. Elix Skipper
Skipper is smart enough to lay on the mat so Kronik walks away, only to try a dive onto Adams. So much for the Canadian educational system. A brief pummeling leads to the Meltdown, the full nelson slam and High Times to complete the squash. I have no idea what the point of this was but it ate up a few minutes.
Rey Mysterio vs. Juventud Guerrera
This Week in WCW Motorsports. Maybe I was wrong about that Duggan interview.
Hardcore Title Tournament Semi-Finals: Crowbar vs. Reno
Mike Awesome runs out for the save post match.
Mike Awesome says he can help Crowbar with his “chick problems”. Is that still a thing?
Reno and the Thrillers celebrate.
Scott Steiner vs. Stevie Ray
General Rection/Lex Luger vs. Lance Storm/Jeff Jarrett
Rating: D. Nothing main event here but at least we all get to fill in the SWERVE box on our WCW Bingo card. It really is kind of amazing that Luger is still the exact same boring guy that he was when we last saw him several months ago. You would think he would have some fire in there somewhere but he really is just a guy with muscles doing a move here and there.
